Domestic Violence Cases in California

Domestic violence refers to domestic abuses, threats, intimidation, harassment, stalking, or any type of violent behavior. This type of behavior can occur between spouses, ex-spouses, unmarried parents of a child, couples living together or who formerly lived together, family members, and dating partners. Domestic violence takes place across all socio-economic groups, ethnic groups, and religions. It often erupts between couples who are breaking up or divorcing and in cases where there is conflict over child custody or other divorce-related issues.

In cases of domestic violence, the victim of the abuse may seek and obtain a restraining order from the courts for protection. In a restraining order, the court orders the restrained person to stop any further abuse and prohibits him or her from contacting the protected person. The restrained person may be ordered to stay away from a shared residence and may lose visitation rights to any children involved.

Domestic violence may consist of physical abuse, such as striking, pushing, shoving, or beating, of emotional abuse, such as threats or putting the victim in fear of retaliation, sexual abuse, or child abuse or endangerment.

If you are involved in a domestic violence situation, get the legal help you need from an Irvine domestic violence lawyer who will aggressively defend your rights and legally safeguard both you and your children.
